So where is the Foot.ie Dublin Headquarters for the match on Saturday.
"For those of us left at home" !!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 1000 are making the trip from here.
I know but I am sickened that I am not going.
Hate watching football in pubs - watch some of the premiership matches in the pub (because i have to as I dont have sky sports) and its a pain.
Irish matches in the pub? Forget about it, good craic and all that but ye never see the match properly (i remember watchng the spain match in my gaf and went to the pub afterwards and my mates didnt even know spain were down to 10 men)
Crate of dutchey for me on saturday!!
Yeah I agree there, Watching it in a pub can be annoying, A load of cans and a few people around is often the best thing in my view.

On a similar note, at Lansdowne once, two oul' ones were cheering for Clinton everytime Stephen Reid touched the ball. Ten mins later Morrison comes on as sub. They were very confused.Quote:

Dudek got injured the week before and wasnt playing. It was embarrassing being Irish that day.

5 of us were at that game and hadn't realised till we read the web the following day!Quote:

Down the boozer is the only place to watch it. I'm not flyin over for this one, so waxy's will have to do.
Anyway, the bloody neighbours will end up roaring at us about the commotion coming out of our livin room at the final whistle :D
:rolleyes: look hobo, a lot of people would agree with me in that at home u can see the screen better and hear the crowd's atmosphere better etc. nothing more hateful than some gob$hite burning u with a fag or breathing in all that cack. But, i would agree however, big games like the world cup are better in a big hyped up crowd in a pub. Waxy o'connor's in glasgow is great for watching games, so spacious and not so much of a problem with the smoke. na-na-na-na-naQuote:

Smoke masks other odours ;)Quote:

The pub is the only place to be (If you can't be at the match) and record it so you can watch it again at home and see whatever youve missed...
You need to get the old atmosphere going in the pub :D
watchin the match at home is far better
myself and the pm got a crate and headed to my place for the ireland v wales da week end cos u can never sit and enjoy a match in the pub
For me it depends on the game. For the qualifiers, its the pub. Hopfully this sat we will get a good crowd out, then it doenst matter which pub you go to. Most Friendlies, its not worth watching it in the pub, mid week and all.
The problem with watching the big games in a pub is that you tank up beforehand, drink more during the game and before you know it the big game you've been sh1tting planks over for 6 weeks is over in what seems like 20 minutes and you can't remember any of it.
And what's the point in shouting songs at a big screen that can't hear you? :)
It'll be the Submarine Bar for me
Its a tough one i know :rolleyes: Its a choice between either cramming it in down the pub with the boyz who burn your hair with their smokes, or its pink slippers and malteasers at home havin a good ogle at the lads in green.Quote:

I watched the Ireland Swiss match there in 2003 so I jinx the place for meself and won't be back untill I watch some meaningless friendly to get rid of the jinx. Plus have to have a cigarette in the hand all the time cos of the nerves so at home it has to be.....
Watched the last Old Firm game at a pub, two girls had two of the best seats in the house, and however the hell they managed it.. they talked to one another for the 90 minutes non-stop, wonder if they even took a breath.Quote:

Usually packed for the games, something like 12 screens (including a big projector screen, quality is fine so long as you don't go comparing it to the regular screens), and the sound on good and high. Can't wait for Saturday.
anyone know if eurosport or anyone is covering the france and switzerland game?
yes, i think it's on eurosport at 8
nice one, looks like a bag of cans and the telly is the order of the day
I think Setanta are showing the game live.Quote:
